I always thought I wanted a hearse (or possibly ambulance.) At some point, I KNEW with certainty that I wanted one, and had settled on a hearse pretty much. I wanted one for several reasons, but the top three would be to drive something that not everybody else owned, to save a great car from the fate of being a derby car or just rotting to the state of being unusable, and to meet people who might want to discuss the uniqueness of the ride.
What I didn't know is just how quickly I was going to get addicted! I'm off work today, and I wrenched my back yesterday, so my couch is calling my name pretty loud. I don't physically FEEL like going out for a drive, but the addiction is calling my name! I want to be behind that wheel!
I like my hearse quite well. My interior needs cleaning, and my seats are pretty much shredded (the cover material, not the foam.) She's dirty and needs a good detailing. However, she's still batter looking than a lot of the cars I see around. The Cadillac base, with lots of chrome, added to that the beautiful S&S landau top and sheet metal - I've got to admit, I'm still geeking out about it!
My car is a 1992 Fleetwood, turned hi-top "Victoria" by S&S. It isn't the incredible styling that the cars from the 40's, 50's and 60's are. It isn't an icon of it's industry. It's not the hearse that sells for $50,000 or more at Jackson-Barett. But I love it. I'm proud of it. And I thank EVERY ONE OF YOU for the information you post, the leads I received, and the knowledge you share.
